What Shall Come: The Foresights of Psandros the Younger

Article written by Ambro


What Shall Come: The Foresights of Psandros the Younger was a book of prophecies written sometime in the early time of the Holy Empire of Istar by Psandros the Younger. At some point the church of Istar banned the book because some of the prophecies came true. All copies, save one, were burned. The lone copy was kept in the Fibuliam of the Sacred Chancery in Istar. In 40 PC, this copy was burned by Kingpriest Kurnos because of the Advent of the Lightbringer prophecy.

The book was written in the High Dravinish Language and its title in that language was "Qoi Zehomu, Psandru Ovrom Vizeva". It was bound in basilisk skin and its title page was covered in archaic calligraphy and illustrations of mystical beasts.

Advent of the Lightbringer

The Advent of the Lightbringer or "Vizilovios Ihomua" was one of the prophecies in Psandros's book. It was two stanzas long. Many interpreted it foretelling the coming of Beldinas Pilofiro as the Lightbringer and future Kingpriest, but it was really about Cathan MarSevrin. Paladine told Psandros the prophecy.
